In my opinion is driving on psychedelics just plain stupid, inresponsible and immature. "Yeah, but sober people said I drove fine.." So f*cking what? It's a fact that people on psychedelics (and alcohol) have a highly reduced response time. Nobody can drive properly on drugs. "But people really said I drove fine!" Until a little girl walks over towards the otherside of the road, and your response time is way under normal..
-------------------- "A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe' - a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something seperated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Albert Einstein

I've driven toward the end of a trip and it sucked!! Every little detail popped out, every bump in the asphalt, I couldn't remember how long I had been stopped at a stop sign etc...
It's possible...it's stupid.
Whoever said people who do are 'F'ing idiots,' I would wholeheartedly agree. I was one of those idiots and it shall NOT happen again.
Be well

IMO it`s O.K. to take a risk...as long as you make sure you`re the only one who gets hurt if things go wrong. In other words: Don`t fucking gamble with other people`s lives. Take the bus for chrissake !

Ok, there's no way to rationalize or legitimize driving while tripping, so I'm not going to try. That being said, I've driven while tripping a few times. Maybe twice when I was really tripping. Both those occasions were for short distances late at night between my friend's house and mine. On one of those occasions, I realized that it might have been a bad idea, as I just burst out laughing hysterically while cruising down a hill. In fact, I just drove to the pet shop while tripping yesterday to get some fish - but I was only tripping mildly (my tolerance was up from doing 2C-B the day prior to taking the fungus). When I went outside to get into my car, I realized I was tripping harder than I had thought (still only about a 1.5/4), but knew that I could make it. I made it to the pet store and started making googoo eyes at the reptiles and amphibians. Got me some glo-lite tetras, a long-finned zebra danio, and a neon blue dwarf gourami. Now, that might seem incredibly careless, and not without reason. However, I do not believe in my heart of hearts that I was any more of a danger to the public than if I had had a couple beers, or was talking on a cell phone. (I know about car crashes, my brother died in one.) I'll tell you one thing, though, I could drive very well on Ecstasy when I was taking that stuff. And it's not that it just seemed that way. In a perfect world, no one would drive inebriated ever, nor would we ever go over the speed limit. Unfortunately, humans are fallible, imperfect creatures -- like apes in golf carts.

"In a perfect world, no one would..." WTF - it?s about you getting behind the steering wheel while your reactions are slower and you?re distracted by all kinds of things. And not about what would and would not happen in a perfect world. Don?t you get it ? You could hurt or kill somebody ! So somebody who had "a couple of beers" drives as shitty as you do on drugs ? Is this what you?ll say to the guy you crippled for life ? I?m sure he?ll see the logic in it if he thinks about it.

A friend and I split 4 grams (dry) before we hit the road en route to my apartment (an hour drive from our hometown, he was visiting me at school for the night). The shrooms kicked in about halfway there, we smoked a bowl to take the edge off and listened to Dark Side of the Moon the entire time.
the shrooms weren't the best i've ever had but they were damn good enough. neither of us were tripping too hard to maintain control of the vehicle, but we BOTH had to do some steering because it started to rain heavily around 2/3rds of the way there. then the driver's side windshield wiper fell off the car (piece of shit 1986 pontiac 6000 STE) and I had to get a bit of help from my passenger/tripping friend.
we were fine.
since then, i got in my car to go to my dorm from a few blocks away while i was tripping on a similar amount of what must have been better shrooms and I was definitely unable to operate it. so i figured, why risk it, and haven't tried anything like that since.
the original experience was more or less out of necessity. we didn't do it for kicks, nor did we want to/have time to wait to eat our shrooms.
we didn't even really start tripping hard until we got out of the car anyway.

Ive driven on Robo twice..
Ive also driven drunk twice.. which will never happen again.
I must say I made stupider decisions while I was drunk. Robo driving is just ridiculously hard because you have to pay attention to driving.. and thats it.

Last Saturday night,my friend,my cousin,and myself all ate some cubes and I decided to take my couisn back to his house before I felt any effects of the shrooms.My cousin lives 30 mins away from me,but 15 mins into the drive the shrooms hit me like a ton of bricks.I'm sitting there praying to the maker "please don't let me start tripping now".The thing is that I have this huge crack in my windshield and it looks like a big ass spider web and the whole time it kept fucking with me and the tail lights from the cars ahead resembled bright red baby spiders ballooning from the web.Anyway,my point is that driving wehile intoxicated on anything is a dumb idea,however,jet skis and atv's do not apply because I've had good time while doing that and tripping balls.

Man if that bridge could talk....I've been floored while riding across that brisge so many freakin times.Thats one of the coolest places in the world,especially in the middle of the night.If you ever get the chance go to Ruddock,its right off of I-55 north if coming from I-10 in LaPlace.Theres a railroad tressel drawbridge and its usually up most of the time.Really cool place to trip.

Well, the speed limit is a debatle thing... I mean, many many many speed limits are posted from what older cars could handle and haven't been changed or reviewed for newer cars with better performance.
As to driving tripping. It's all been said. It's fucking stupid. It doesn't mean you're always stupid, but while you're doing it, you are indeed stupid. I don't even recommend driving on cannabis, and I am a heavy proponent of cannabis... NORML doesn't even recommend it. Quoted from that link:
Quote:
Policy debates regarding marijuana-law reform invariably raise the issue of marijuana and driving. This is a valid concern. In fact, NORML's own "Principles of Responsible Cannabis Use" invoke a "no driving" clause, stating: "Although cannabis is said by most experts to be safer than alcohol and many prescription drugs with motorists, responsible cannabis consumers never operate motor vehicles in an impaired condition."

I've had to drive a few times while tripping.
On the comedown, trip was basically nil, to get bud and bring the trip (visuals) back
To the ER, so a friend's house wouldn't get raided (friend was bugging out and friend had quite the stash)
Maybe once or twice more, tired + bad memory,
However, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and it wasn't pleasurable tripping and bringing someone to the ER. One of my 'worst trip experiences ever'.

"There can exist, in addition to the aware self, other hidden systems of control of the organism, which can program thinking, can program feeling, can program action, toward destruction of that particular organsim. LSD(tripping) can release these programs, can strengthen them, and can weaken the aware surviving self to the point where there is danger of suicide or of self-destructive activites." -John C. Lilly The Center of the Cyclone
That about says it. There are things you cannot control, parts of yourself that may want to kill you, that you have never encountered. These can flare up while tripping, and then even though you may have never thought about suicide or running off the road, it can happen out of your control. That is why no one should ever drive while tripping.
-------------------- No ONE wants to know the ultimate TRUTH, as soon as YOU find IT out, YOU want to forget IT. You are everything's way of feeling itself. Happy Schwag, everygodly!
